Kartika - The holiest month

Sri Yashoda Damodara

In all auspicious month Kartika is the month Lord Krishna love so much. In this month Lord Krishna please very quick from Their devotees. In this year it begins from Saturday 31 Oct 2020, and end Monday 30 Nov 2020. This month is also known as Damodara month because Lord Krishna played a nice pastimes.

There are few things we must do to get benefit of this holy month because Krishna will be pleased very easily in this month:

1. Daily offer ghee lamp (deep) to Damodara and Tulsi

2. Daily recite Damodar ashtkam while offering lamp

3. Chant maha mantra as much as possible (Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare)

4. Read Damodar pastimes from Krishna book, where Lord Krishna saved Nalkubera and Manigriva (sons of kuvera) from cursed of Narada muni as they became arjuna trees

5. Try not to offense anyone

6. Try to visit Vrindavan dham if possible (due to covid-19), if it is not then do virtual yatra (meditate from your mind)

7. Do Govardhan parikrama and Vrindavan parikrama

There are so many places to see in Vrindavan dham as we start our parikrama first from Kusum sarovar (a beautiful lake), we goes to gupt Ganges, Punchhari then reach at Udhava kund, Sri Radha kund and Shyam Kund (most auspicious to take bath in this month).

There are so many temples but 7 temples mainly build by our Six Gowswamis that is Sri Radha Madan Mohan, Radha Gopinath, Radha Govind, Radha Damodara (where srila prabhupada used to stay and translate Srimad Bhawatam), Radha Shyam Sundara, Radha Raman and Radha Gokulananda.

There is a beautiful place where you can take peaceful breath that is Sri Vrinda kunda (the main in-charge of Sridham Vrindavan). Without her sanction we can not enter into Vraj dhama.

There is a very famous place, people go to see the amazing thing over there that is Nidhi vana. Where Radha rani and Krishna even come every day.

There is varsana dham (a place of Radharani), a beautiful and auspicious place to seek devotional service from Radharani. Only Radha rani can give us the Krishna prema (love of Krishna).

Anyone who is interested to have virtual lamp offering at home in this auspicious month can contact us.

Damodara month ki jai.

Life is a preparation, death is an examination

But there is one exam in our life which we may ignore saying we will see when it would come in our life, but we all have to attempt we don't have any choice, whether we are poor, rich, educated or illiterate.

You are successful, if you are passed your exams but if you are failed then you don't know when you will have to reattempt that exam (it could be after 84 lac...

And we see more of the so called successful people at some level they are not able to tolerate the failure and end up their life. So, here we are going to discuss, what is the real meaning of success? First of all we must understand, Success is not a destination but a journey. In our life we may consider anything of success, but it means opportunity to implore our self more.
